Mr. Lassiter ends the logarithms lesson ten minutes before the bell is due to ring, like usual.  He grabs a stack of papers from the top of the filing cabinet at the back of the room, dropping them on Josh's desk.  

"Pass these out, Dun."

Josh dramatically sighs and rises from his seat, swiping the papers off his desk with faux attitude, but he only ends up spilling most of the stack over the edge, watching dejectedly as papers scatter all across the floor.  A few kids snicker and laugh as Josh crouches down and gathers up the papers.  Tyler scoots his chair back a little to help pick up a few sheets around his area, handing them to the annoyed boy when he stands again (keeping a couple for himself and Josh, of course).  He takes the papers out of Tyler's hand with a mumbled 'thanks' before proceeding to pass out the homework in a more civil manner.

He's back in his seat a few minutes later, and he begins to pack his belongings into his bag.

But then he puts Tyler's pencil in his bag .  That Tyler was nice enough to let Josh borrow.  

And, it's one of Tyler's better pencils.  Well, at least it was before he fucking stole it.

"Uh, that's my pencil," is what Tyler  doesn't say, because the idea of speaking to people he doesn't know overwhelms him with dread and anxiety and he just simply can't do those kinds of things, so all the petty brunette can really do is sit pitifully at his desk and mourn the loss of one of his favorite pencils, which would've been in the safety of his own bag if he wasn't too pathetic to ask for his own shit back.

Tyler just won't lend him any of his pencils anymore, then.  That's the last pencil Josh Dun will steal from him.
